The Computer Center— The Computer Center, established in July,
1963, provides connputational support for undergraduate and graduate
courses, faculty and student research, and the administrative requirements
of the University. The computing capacity of the Center is provided by a
large-scale disk oriented central processor which supports both time-sharing
and batch processing services for the university community. Typewriter
terminals, located both in the Computer Center and in various locations on
campus, permit the use of the computer on a time-sharing basis. Key-
punching facilities and a full complement of tabulating equipment are
available in the Computer Center for student use. Remote job entry stations
are located in the Computer Science Department and the College of
Business, along with a large number of time-sharing terminals. Aid in the
use of the computer and facilities may be obtained from user assistants on
duty at the Computer Center, and from the Center's professional staff.
lUP's Computer Center plays an active part in the daily functioning of
the University. It is the principal laboratory facility for computer-oriented
courses and is used as a teaching aid in many classes involving statistical
and numberical analyses and computer simulations. In addition, over 80
organizations outside the University make extensive use of lUP's computing
facilities. The staff at the Center is actively involved in continuing work aimed
at making computers a more effective and readily accessible tool for both
the academic and administrative segments of the university community.
Testing Services— Testing programs at lUP are administered through
the Academic Services and Testing Center. Among the national testing pro-
grams offered, the following are of particular interest to potential graduate
students.
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is administered on nationally-
established dates five times each year. In the Saturday morning sessions
the general examinations (formerly called aptitude examinations) are offered;
the advanced examinations (specializations) are offered in the afternoon ses-
sions. Information and registration booklets are available from the Graduate
School or from the Testing Center. Registration forms must be sent directly
to ETS in Princeton, New Jersey.
The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is administered by the Testing Center
on a frequent schedule — usually monthly on a weekday afternoon. To
register, contact the Testing Center (412-357-3050). All Graduate School
applicants with a GPA of below 2.6 must take the MAT.
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is administered
on nationally-established dates. lUP is a regular center for some dates and
can be a special center for other dates if 15 registrations are submitted to
the Testing Center before the "special requests" deadline. Registrations for
regular center dates, as listed in the GMAT booklet, are submitted directly
to ETS. Information-registration booklets are available from the College of
Business — MBA Coordinator or from the Testing Center.
The National Teacher Examination (NTE) is administered on four
nationally-established dates. On two dates the common examinations are
offered; on two other dates the area examinations (specializations) are of-
fered. It is used generally by participating school systems for qualification
The University — 13
and/or selection of instructional staff. This test is used at lUP in admissions
to the Supervisor of Guidance certificate program.
Information on graduate and professional school exams other than those
used for lUP Graduate School programs is available through the Testing
Center. Law School Admission Test (LSAT) information is also available in
the office of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Medical Col-
lege Admission Test (MCAT) information is available through the Dean of
the College of Natural Sciences and fvlathematics.

and neither makes testing requirements nor offers interpretation of testing
results. Commercial "How to Prepare for . . ." materials are available in the
Co-op Store and other local bookstores. Questions concerning test re-
quirements and desirable scores should be addressed to The Graduate
School. Questions concerning specific registration matters and the test
agency information-registration materials may be directed to the Academic
Services and Testing Center, G-30 Sutton Hall (412-357-3050).
Career Services— The Office of Career Services, 302 Pratt Hall, is open
to all lUP graduate students and alumni. Students and classes are invited
to use the facilities and professional staff for assistance in career planning
and development.
The primary functions of the Career Services program are: providing
vocational planning assistance through conferences with professional career
counselors; assembling a set of credentials for each student who submits
the materials and making copies of these credentials available to prospec-
tive employers; cooperating with the faculty of the University to increase
the overall awareness of current employment opportunities and trends;
arranging for campus interviews; publicizing career information, especially
regarding campus interviewing opportunities; preparing vacancy files and
a current vacancy list which are made available to eligible candidates; main-
taining a career information library; arranging for occupational information
through meetings with representatives from education, business, industry,
and government; conducting follow-up studies of graduates and assembling

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL AT lUP
GENERAL INFORMATION
Graduate work was inaugurated at lUP in September, 1957.
Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Business Adnninistration,
Master of Education, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doc-
tor of Psychology degrees are currently available. Non-degree programs
leading to certification in various teaching and school service fields are also
available.
In all graduate programs the objectives are (1) to encourage excellence
and scholarship, (2) to provide depth in the student's special field, and (3)
to stimulate enthusiasm for continued cultural and professional growth on
the part of the student.
The Graduate School staff is assisted in its daily functioning by a) the
Graduate Committee, a standing committee of the University Senate
concerned with graduate program curricular and policy matters; b) the
Graduate Student Assembly, an elected graduate student body represen-
tative of all campus acaden' c departments offering graduate programs, and
c) the chairpersons and grtiduate studies coordinators of departments of-
fering graduate course work.
In addition to the degree and certification programs referred to above,
lUP's Graduate School also maintains liaison with other graduate institu-
tions in Pennsylvania. Students should contact The Graduate School for ad-
ditional information.
16 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania
ADMISSION
Admission to The Graduate School is required of all students who wish
to take graduate courses for graduate credit. Each student applying for ad-
mission, either as an applicant for a graduate degree program or as an ap-
plicant for a non-degree program, must file with The Graduate School an
application for admission and such other supporting documents as the school
may specify. An Admissions Packet is supplied by the Graduate Office upon
request. As a general rule application materials must be on file in the
Graduate Office at least one month prior to the beginning of the semester
or term in which the applicant plans to begin graduate work. Some excep-
tions to these deadlines exist; please refer to the Graduate Calendar on the
opening pages of this catalog for specific program dates.
Requirements for Admission
1 . An applicant must have a bachelor's degree from a college or univer-
sity accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools or an equivalent regional accrediting agency.
2. The applicant's undergraduate transcript (or transcripts collectively)
must show a minimum cumulative quality point average of 2.6 on
a 4.0 maximum scale. Occasionally, additional evidence of academic
ability is required.
3. Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores must be submitted prior
to admission or during the student's first semester of course work
by all students except MBA and M.S. in Business program applicants;
the latter must submit General Management Admission Test (GMAT)
scores. (These tests are described in detail earlier in this catalog.)
4. Most applicants requesting admission to programs leading to an MEd
degree are required to have a Provisional Pennsylvania Teachers
Certificate or its equivalent; all MEd degree applicants should be sure
to inquire at their program's sponsoring department. MEd applicants
who do not already have such certification where required must com-
plete a planned program leading to certification prior to applying for
MEd degree candidacy at lUP.
Graduate School admission means that students may program and
register for graduate courses. Admission does not guarantee subsequent
admission to candidacy for a degree, nor does it guarantee successful com-
pletion of requirements for a degree.
Admission Procedures
1. Each applicant must file with the Dean of The Graduate School a
completed application form. Applications along with forms pertain-
ing to items 2 and 3 below are included in the Admission's Packet.
The Admission's Packet sent to Doctor of Psychology applicants dif-
fers somewhat from the regular packet, especially regarding item
3 below.
The Graduate School —17
2. The application must be accompanied by one copy of an official
transcript from each graduate and undergraduate institution attended,
including lUP if the applicant is an lUP graduate. lUP graduates must
ask the Registrar's Office to forward official transcripts to the
Graduate School.
3. Each applicant must submit statements of recommendation from
three individuals who are familiar with his/her background. At least
two of the individuals must be persons familiar with the applicant's
academic background.
4. All applicants must submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
scores except MBA and M.S. in Business degree applicants, who
must submit Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores.
Information about both is contained in the Admission's Packet.
5. An application fee in the amount of $10.00, non-refundable, must
accompany the application. Please pay by check and make check
payable to: lUP.
Admission Classifications
Applicants for admission to The Graduate School are notified of their
admission status by The Graduate School Dean prior to the beginning of
the term of planned study. Admission classifications are as follows:
1 . Pre-Candidacy Status. Given to an applicant who plans to work
toward a graduate degree and whose application file with The
Graduate School is both complete and satisfactory. The pre-
candidacy student may program, under departmental guidance, 6
to 12 graduate hours toward the degree being sought. Pre-Candidacy
Status does not guarantee subsequent admission to candidacy.
2. Special Graduate Standing. Granted to applicants who indicate they
do not plan to work toward a graduate degree but who wish to take
graduate courses for which they are qualified. Applicants granted
this standing who later wish to work toward a graduate degree must
request reclassification by The Graduate School. Credits earned by
a student having Special Graduate Standing may be applied to an
lUP degree after the reclassified student has been awarded degree
candidacy, provided the credits are deemed appropriate to the degree
by the program's sponsoring department.
3. Admission Denied. Applicants denied admission to The Graduate
School will receive a letter from the Graduate Dean indicating the
reason for the denial.
Graduate Record and Other Examinations
All graduate school applicants must take the GENERAL (formerly called
the Aptitude section) section of the Graduate Record Examination. The
18- Indiana University of Pennsylvania
following departments require that the Examination's ADVANCED section
must also be taken for the degree or certification programs indicated:
Biology (MS and MEd)
Educational Psychology (MEd and School Psychology programs)
Elementary Education (EdD)
English (PhD)
Foreign Languages (German, MEd; Spanish, MA and MEd)
Music (MA, MEd)
Psychology (MA, Psy.D.)
Under certain conditions lUP applicants may be required to submit MAT
(Miller Analogies Test) scores. Both Graduate Record and Miller Analogies
examinations are administered by lUP's Testing Center; specific informa-
tion about test availability can be obtained from the Center's director. Ap-
plicants taking such examinations, whether at lUP or elsewhere, should
request that their scores be sent to: Dean, The Graduate School, lUP,
Indiana, PA 15705.
Foreign Student Applicants
In addition to following the general procedures for admission to The
Graduate School, foreign students must present evidence of fluency in
English. Applicants whose native language is not English are required to
take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)*. The Graduate
School will not process applications from such students until satisfactory
TOEFL scores are filed with the Dean of The Graduate School.
TOEFL scores are only one of several criteria considered for the ad-
mission of foreign students to the Graduate School at lUP. However, as a
broad indicator, applicants should be aware of the Council of Graduate
Schools' finding that, among American universities, the TOEFL scores most
widely expected for admission are 500 and above.
Foreign applicants must also present evidence to The Graduate School
of having financial resources sufficient to meet the cost of living in Indiana,
Pennsylvania; the cost of travel to and from the student's native country,
and the cost of graduate education at lUP. Such evidence should be sent
directly to: Dean, The Graduate School, lUP, Indiana, Pennsylvania 1 5705,
U.S.A. The Graduate School gives notification to the University's Foreign
Student Adviser of foreign student applications received; the Foreign Stu-
dent Adviser mails to the prospective foreign student information on housing,
arrival dates, and other general information about the University. Applicants
who have questions about legal or other matters such as the issuance of
certificates of eligibility (1-20) and the like should address those questions
directly to: lUP Foreign Student Adviser, lUP, Indiana, Pennsylvania 15705.
Foreign Student Candidacy Test— All foreign students will be required
to take the GRE if they have studied in an American college or university.
If a foreign student has not studied in an American college or university,
the test required for candidacy will be the TOEFL. Business students in MBA
or MS programs must take the GMAT regardless of foreign status.
'Students desiring direct information about this examination should write
to TOEFL, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08540,
U.S.A.
The Graduate School —19
PROGRAMMING AND REGISTRATION
Advisement
After a student has been admitted to The Graduate School, he/she
should consult the departnnent chairperson or coordinator of graduate studies
in his/her intended field of study about a program of courses. If the student
is a special graduate student, consultation should be with the Dean of The
Graduate School. Advisement before course registration is required of all
students enrolling for graduate classes for the first time. In addition, many
departments feel strongly that their students should be advised well before
registration for each semester or summer term; these departments are iden-
tified in each semester's (or summer session's) schedule of course offer-
ings. The student should carefully check such schedules about advisement
responsibilities, as well as course offerings, before registration.
Pre-registration
Prior to each semester or summer session enrolled graduate students
receive schedules and pre-registration materials with accompanying instruc-
tions from The Graduate School. Similar material is sent to prospective new
students in response to their inquiries. The student should return all com-
pleted registration forms to the Graduate Office by the date published in
the graduate schedule.
Final Registration
After the student has returned the registration materials to The Graduate
School, he/she will receive from the Business Office a bill for tuition and
fees. Bills must be paid before the student attends classes. Arrangements
for housing and meals when necessary, parking, identification-card receipt
can be made at the registration location for "walk-in" students. Mail-registered
students should make such arrangements independently with offices
involved.
"Walk-in" registration is usually held during the final hours of registra-
tion for students who have not pre-registered. Walk-in students may en-
counter lengthy delays in their registration processing and other
inconveniences. It is unquestionably to the student's advantage to be pro-
cessed with the majority pre-registration group.
APPLICANTS FOR SPECIALIST OR
SUPERVISORY CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
lUP offers specialist or supervisory certificate programs in Instructional
Media Specialist (Communications Media Department), Elementary School
Counselor, Secondary School Counselor, Supervisor of Guidance Services,
Supervisor of Pupil Personnel Services (Counselor Education Department),
School Psychology certification (Educational Psychology Department),
Reading Specialist, Reading Supervisor (Elementary Education Department),
and Supervisor in Special Education (Special Education and Clinical Ser-
vices Department).
Applicants for these programs should follow the same procedures for
20 -Indiana University of Pennsylvania
admission, programming, and registration as described in this catalog for
special programs requirements. However, potential applicants should check
with the department chair or graduate coordinator responsible for the
specialized program in order to gather information before beginning the
admissions process.
FINANCIAL AID
The Financial Aid Office, located at 308 Pratt Hall, offers financial in-
formation and counseling to all students attending lUP. The types of finan-
cial assistance offered by the Financial Aid Office include student
employment, loans, and scholarships. In most cases the Pennsylvania State
Grant Application is used to determine eligibility for these programs.
In order to be considered for financial aid administered through the
University, a Pennsylvania State Grant Application must be submitted to
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Students attending lUP on at least a half-time
basis (5 credit hours or more) will be awarded assistance based on dem-
onstrated financial need. To be eligible for continued funding, applicants
must remain in satisfactory academic standing at the University and show
continued academic progress.
Payment of financial aid awards is done on a semester basis. All finan-
cial aid, with the exception of the private scholarships, work-study, and
guaranteed student loans are credited to the student's bill in advance.
The cost of attending lUP and the University's refund policy are listed
in this catalog. Please refer to the index for further information.
Asslstantshlps
lUP offers both half-time assistantships (20 hours per week of assistant-
ship service) and quarter-time assistantships (10) hours per week of assis-
tantship service) to full-time graduate students. Duties will vary somewhat
from assistant to assistant and may include assistance with teaching, super-
vised teaching, research or assistance with research, and university service
activities. Duties are under the supervision of a graduate faculty member.
Assistantships are looked upon as an encouragement or reward for academic
excellence rather than a means to relieve financial need.
Half-time assistantships carry a full tuition waiver for the two semesters
of the assistantship and the following summer. With some exceptions,
quarter-time assistantships carry one-half tuition waiver for the two semesters
of the assistantship and a six semester hour waiver for the following summer.
Since stipends for assistantships may be raised from year to year, poten-
tial applicants should check with The Graduate School for current stipend
levels.
The deadline for applying for a September assistantship is March 15
of the same calendar year. Applications and further information are available
at The Graduate School.
Scholarships
Margaret Flegal Harte Scholarships
Two $450 scholarships are awarded yearly to needy new full-time
graduate students. All new Graduate School applicants except for those who
The Graduate School - 21
receive other lUP scholarships are considered for the Margaret Flegal Harte
Scholarships based on academic records and financial need. No applica-
tion forms for the scholarships are required; the Pennsylvania State Grant
Application submitted to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, serves as the need
analysis document for need assessment.
Employment Programs
A. Federal College Work-Study Program (CWSP)
The College Work-Study Program provides an opportunity for graduate
students to earn money to help finance educational expenses. Students
may be employed on campus for up to 20 hours per week when classes
are in session and 40 hours per week during vacation periods. Work-study
jobs not only help to defray the cost of education but can add valuable
practical experience accompanying the student's graduate education.
Eligibility is based on financial need as determined by an analysis of the
Pennsylvania State Grant Application submitted to Harrisburg, Penn-
sylvania. The form is available in the Financial Aid Office.
B. State University Employment Program (UE)
The State University Employment Program also provides an opportunity
for students to work as an accompaniment to their studies program. Max-
imum UE hours are 20 hours per week when classes are in session and
40 hours per week during vacation periods. No application is necessary.
C. Special Funded Grant Employment opportunities are also available to
graduate students from time to time. Interested students should check
with the Graduate Office.
Loan Programs
A. Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL)
Applications for the GSL, known in Pennsylvania as the PHEAA Loan,
are obtained from private leading institutions such as banks and credit
unions and are administered in conjunction with the State and Federal
Governments. There are no cancellation privileges. Up to $5,000 per
academic year may be borrowed with a total limit of $1 5,000 for graduate
study or $25,000 for graduate and undergraduate years combined. For
new borrowers, repayment at 8% simple interest per year starts after the
six month grace period. Previous borrowers will continue at the same
interest rate (7%, 8%, or 9%) and the same grace period (six or nine
months). Minimum monthly repayment is $50.00.
B. Auxiliary Loans to Assist Students (known in Pennsylvania at PLUS)
Applications for the PLUS loan are obtained from participating private
lending institutions such as banks and credit unions and are administered
in conjunction with the State and Federal Governments. There are no
cancellation privileges. Up to $3,000 per academic year may be borrowed
by approved graduate students with a maximum of $1 5,000 for graduate
study.
Repayment at 12% interest per year starts 60 days after the check is
issued. Some lenders will defer payment of principal until graduate study
is completed.
C. Family Partnership Loan (FPL)
To assist students who are ineligible for GSL or who receive less GSL
than had been requested, PHEAA has established the Family Partner-
22— Indiana University of Pennsylvania
ship Loan. $10,000 maximum may be borrowed at approximately 10%
annual interest. Principal repayments may be deferred until completion
of graduate study. Interest must be paid quarterly.
To be considered for the Family Partnership Loan, students must sub-
mit a GSL application and receive a denial or less than requested. PHEAA
will contact the student automatically with details of the FPL.
Veterans
lUP is approved to offer training under the various G.I. Bills. Students
who are entitled to training under one of these bills should contact the
Veterans' Counselor immediately after being accepted for admission to lUP
in order to secure additional instructions. This procedure is necessary so
veterans may be included on the monthly payrolls. The Office of the Vet-
erans' Counselor is in 304 Pratt Hall.
INSURANCE
lUP provides an opportunity for full-time graduate students to purchase
accident and illness insurance. Coverage normally begins on a date near
the end of August and ends on the same date the following year. However,
shorter coverages are available based on the date a graduate student enrolls
at lUP. Since the range of items covered and benefit maximums change
from time to time, no policy details can be listed here. For further details
and/or policy purchases, please contact the Associate Treasurer, Admin-
istrative Annex, lUP, Indiana, PA 15705.
Foreign students enrolled at lUP must purchase the insurance described
above unless they can demonstrate that they already have comparable
coverage.
GENERAL GRADUATE SCHOOL PROCEDURES
AND REGULATIONS
The graduate student is expected to assume full responsibility for
knowing graduate program procedures and regulations. General Graduate
School requirements are set forth in this catalog; a description of special
departmental degree requirements is available at each department spon-
soring the specific degree or certification program. Requests for exceptions
to policy are given consideration when unique circumstances exist; ques-
tions concerning the proper routing of such requests should be addressed
to the Graduate School Dean. In addition to knowing policy and procedure,
all admitted graduate students should also be familiar with the document
"Graduate Student Rights and Responsibilities," a copy of which can be ob-
tained at the Graduate Office.
Program Changes
To insure their quality and relevance, graduate programs at lUP are
subject to constant review and change by duly appointed and responsible
University groups. Because of this, the University recognizes that provision
must be made to prevent hardship to students already enrolled in programs
if changes later occur in specific or general program requirements. Students
The Graduate School — 23
affected by changes in programs, policies and regulations are therefore
given the option of following those requirements in effect when the student
was first admitted to the program or those in effect at the time of expected
graduation. The student cannot, of course, combine chosen elements of the
two. Should a question of rule interpretation arise with respect to changes,
the student, the student's adviser, or both should petition The Graduate
School Dean for a decision about which requirements apply.
Graduate Student Rights and Responsibilities
upon admission to The Graduate School, the student assumes re-
sponsibility for knowing program requirements and following established
procedures in relation to academic advisement, course selection and reg-
istering, the payment of fees, the processing of withdrawals from class (if
any), the meeting of residency requirements, applying for degree candidacy,
and applying for and meeting all specific requirements for graduation. Con-
versely, he/she has the right to expect that all program requirements will
be made clear, that all course requirements— including grading criteria and
procedures- will be made known early in the course, and that course grades
will represent the instructor's professional and objective evaluation of per-
formance. He/she has the right to instruction which encourages the free and
open discussion of ideas, and which respects reasonable student needs and
aspirations. It is the student's responsibility to contribute to that classroom
decorum and atmosphere which encourages maximum learning. Finally, the
student understands that a departmental evaluation of academic progress
and professional potential will be filed and that such an evaluation is available
upon request.
The Graduate Student Assembly
Each lUP department offering a graduate program is required to
establish a graduate studies committee and is urged, but not required to
form an association for its graduate students. On a University-wide basis,
the Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) is the graduate students' organiza-
tion. GSA is composed of two elected representatives (and frequently an
alternate) elected by the full-time and part-time graduate students of the
department. GSA functions to serve all graduate students by having voting
representation on the Graduate Council and in the University Senate; by
having the right to review Council policies; by having the means to make
recommendations about graduate student affairs to the Council and/or to
the Graduate Dean; by working to improve the social, intellectual, and cultural
life of graduate students; and by participating in the judicial procedure
established for graduate students.
Academic Good Standing
lUP graduate students must maintain a minimum of 3.0 (B) cumulative
graduate quality point average to be in good standing academically. Students
falling below good standing are placed on probation for their succeeding
active semester or summer; probationary continuance beyond one semester
or summer is permitted only upon receipt of special authorization to this ef-
fect from the Graduate Dean. A student must be in good standing to be ad-
mitted to degree candidacy and to graduate.
24 — Indiana University of Pennsylvania
ACADEMIC CREDITS AND STUDENT STATUS
Although many graduate students depend upon part-time or full-time
employment to meet expenses, the time demands for such employment must
not be permitted to curtail academic achievement. lUP Graduate School
facilities are offered only to students in a position to benefit from their
graduate experience.
Students may regularly schedule a full-time academic load in most
graduate programs. Full-time graduate student status is defined as 9 to 15
graduate semester hours per semester, while part-time status is defined as
eight or fewer semester hours per semester. Full-time graduate students
should not hold full-time outside employment. Graduate assistants may not
register for more than 12 total hours in any semester.
WORKSHOPS AND OTHER SPECIAL CREDITS
The following policy governing the use of workshop and other special-
offering credits toward graduate degrees was passed by the University
Senate on May 8, 1979:
The individual master's degree candidate may submit for credit for his
degree no more than six (6) semester hours of workshop and other
special-credit offerings approved by the department offering the degree.
Doctoral candidates may submit a further six (6) semester hours of such
work beyond the master's or its equivalent if approved by the degree-
granting department. Should the workshop(s) or special credit offering(s)
later become a catalog-listed course which is part of the degree pro-
gram, while the student is still working toward his/her degree, the stu-
dent may request of the department a retroactive reclassification of
credits so earned and upon approval may again use workshop or special
offering credits, up to the above maximum, toward a degree.
The Graduate School — 25
RESIDENCY
Master's degree candidates may satisfy the residency requirements by
taking all credits applicable to the lUP degree (except possibly six transfer
credits-see "Credit Transfers." Doctoral candidates have the following
options: completion of a minimum of nine graduate credits at lUP in each
of at least two consecutive semesters; completion of a minimum of nine
graduate credits at lUP for at least one semester immediately preceding
or following a summer of nine-hour study; completion at lUP of at least nine
graduate credits in each of two consecutive summers plus six graduate
credits during the intervening academic year; or completion of 1 2 graduate
credits at lUP in each of two consecutive summers (this latter is recom-
mended only in very special instances).
DEGREE CANDIDACY
Part-time graduate students must apply for degree candidacy through
their Dean's Office immediately following completion of six graduate credit
hours taken at lUP. Full-time students must do the same at the mid-term
of the semester or summer term during which they are taking their 1 2th lUP
graduate hour. The appropriate form is available at the College Dean's Of-
fice. Notification of candidacy award or denial, as recommended by the pro-
gram's sponsoring department, will be received from the Dean. Receipt of
degree candidacy is a most important requirement in the student's progress
toward an lUP graduate degree.
Admission to Candidacy
To qualify for admission to candidacy, the student must complete the
following steps:
1 . Submit an official application for admission to candidacy to the Col-
lege Dean (form may be obtained at the student's College Dean's
Office).
2. Complete with satisfactory grades (see description of Academic Good
Standing) at least six semester hours (part-time students) or be in
the process of completing 12 semester hours (full-time students-
see first paragraph under Degree Candidacy) of graduate work at
lUP.
3. Have on file in the Graduate Office scores from the Graduate Record
Examination, or for MBA and MS in Business students. The Graduate
Management Admission Test.
4. Have satisfied the research course requirement (GR 615 Elements
of Research, or equivalent).
5. Have on file in the College Dean's Office a tentative program of
studies for completion of the desired degree program.
Degree candidacy is awarded by the dean's office only upon recom-
mendation of the student's academic department. The student will be notified
in writing of candidacy decisions.
Individual departments may have requirements exceeding the minimum
prescribed by The Graduate School. Students should inquire for such written
requirements at the degree-sponsoring department.
26— Indiana University of Pennsylvania
GRADING SYSTEM
The following grades are used in reporting the standing of students at
the end of each semester or summer term:
A — Excellent I— Incomplete
B — Good R — Research in Progress
C-Fair W-Withdrawal
F — Failure
No "D" grade is recognized in lUP graduate work.
Quality points are assigned as follows: A — 4; B — 3: C — 2. No quality
points are carried by the notations of F, I, R, and W.
The notation 'T' is used to record work which, as far as it has progressed,
Is of passing grade but is incomplete because of accident, illness, pregnancy,
or extreme personal disturbance. The "R" notation pertains only to thesis
and dissertation research credits when such research is in progress as a
semester or summer terms ends, or in certain practicum-type courses ap-
proved for this notation by the Graduate Dean. All •'R's" are replaced by the
research grade eventually assigned when the research is completed. The
"W" notation applies to certain withdrawals from courses. Withdrawals from
the University and discrete course withdrawals are discussed in detail in
other sections of this catalog. Note that an "F" is entered in the student's
permanent academic record if a withdrawal of either type has not been
processed in accordance with established procedures.
Course Auditing
Auditing is not permitted in a graduate course unless the student has
been admitted to The Graduate School, has received permission to audit
from the course's instructor, and has been approved for course enrollment
by the Dean of The Graduate School. Auditors must pay normal tuition and
related fees. An auditor will, with permission from the instructor, participate
in class discussion, do practicum work, take examinations, and share
generally in the privileges of a class member. If the student completes all
course requirements — but only if so — an "Audit" notation is posted to the
student's academic record. No student who is required to carry a certain
number of credits may count among those credits the credit of an audited
course.
Class Cancellation
It is the policy of The Graduate School not to cancel regularly scheduled
classes because of weather conditions, nor does it make announcements
via radio, newspaper, or through its switchboard that classes are being
suspended because of such conditions. In cases of emergencies disrupting
transportation facilities or otherwise creating hazardous travel conditions,
students should make those decisions as to attendance which appear
appropriate to them in their particular circumstances.
Graduate Course Numbering
All dual-level courses, open to enrollment by both graduate and qualified
undergraduate students, carry a 500-599 course number; all courses open
only to graduate students carry 600-series and above numbers.
The Graduate School -27
Dual Level Courses
The number of credits attained in dual-level courses (500-599) which
shall be applicable to a degree program for any student shall be a maximum
of 50% of the credits required for that degree. Some programs may call for
less than 50%. Students should check this requirement with their advisors.
Graduate students who enroll in dual level courses should be aware
that dual level courses commonly impose greater obligations on graduate
students than on undergraduate students taking the same course.

Credit Transfers
Credit for graduate courses taken at another institution may under cer-
tain circumstances be incorporated as part of the graduate student's pro-
gram at lUP. These courses must have been completed on the main campus
of an accredited institution, or acceptable in its degree programs by that
main campus. The grade earned must be a "B" or its equivalent or better.
The time limitation rule for lUP degrees (cited later in this catalog) pertains
without modification to transfer credits.
A maximum of six credits of transfer work may be accepted. Transfer
credits are not necessarily posted to the student's lUP graduate record un-
til the student has been admitted to degree candidacy. Acceptance of transfer
credit must be approved by the candidate's department and the Dean.
Students wishing to transfer back to lUP credits taken at another institution
while enrolled in an lUP graduate program must receive advance written
authorization for credit acceptance from the College Dean.
Graduate Course Repeat Policy
Under University policy no graduate credit is recognized for courses
completed with grades of "F". Graduate grading policy does not permit an
award of "D". A student receiving a "C" or "F" grade may request through
his/her adviser or coordinator of graduate studies approval to repeat the
course to a maximum of two repeats. Each such repeat must receive final
approval from the dean of the student's College.
Semester hours for repeated courses shall be counted only once for
all attempts made and, should there be a difference in hours because of
a course hours change, the hours and quality points earned when last taken
shall be those used for quality point average computation.
Credits earned in only one repeated course may be applied to an lUP
graduate degree.
Course Overlaps in Degree Programs
Within set limits, a student may use the same course to count in two
different master's degree programs, if the course is acceptable in both pro-
grams. However, the number of overlap credits counted toward a second
master's degree will be limited to 20% of the credits in the second master's
degree program. Exceptions to this limit may be made by the Graduate Dean
in consultation with the appropriate Department Chair and College Dean.
Independent Study Maximum
Only six credits of Independent Study work may apply toward a graduate
degree unless written authorization for hours in excess of six is obtained
from the student's adviser or coordinator of graduate studies and the dean,
in that order.
Graduate Internship Policy
To qualify for a graduate internship appointment the graduate student
must have a minimum of 12 lUP graduate credits earned and a minimum
3.0 GPA; must have been in full-time enrollment (nine graduate credits or
The Graduate School - 29
more) during the semester or summer sessions (the latter taken as a
whole) immediately preceding the academic period for which internship is
requested;* and must meet departmental internship criteria. No more than
six internship credits may apply to a graduate degree unless written approval
of the student's departmental chairperson or graduate studies coordinator
and the dean (in that order) is obtained. Continuation in an internship ex-
perience by a given graduate student is contingent upon the student's
maintenance of satisfactory performance in all aspects of his/her degree
program. Programmatic exceptions to the foregoing policy can be made only
with the approval of the Graduate Council.
*For graduate students active during summers only, or during fall-spring
semesters only, "immediately preceding the academic period" etc. refers
to the student's last preceding active semester or summer session.
Final Credits Policy
All degree candidates must complete their program's final six credits
of graduate work in courses offered by lUP. Under certain circumstances
appropriate substitutions may be authorized. Students wishing such
authorization must petition the Dean after obtaining the approval of their
adviser and department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator.
Discrete Course Withdrawal
During the fall and spring semesters, graduate students may request
authorization to withdraw from a graduate course without prejudice and with
the grade of "W" by petitioning the Graduate Dean in writing within the first
two-thirds of the semester as determined by the published University calen-
dar. The request must carry the endorsement of both the course instructor
and the student's department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator,
in that order. Graduate students wishing to withdraw from an undergraduate
course within the prescribed period must do so by processing the standard
undergraduate Discrete Course Withdrawal form.
For summer term classes and labs, the following is substituted for the
above in the preceding paragraph; for the Pre and Post Sessions, within
the first six class days; for Main Session, within the first twelve class days.
Following the close of the established six weeks (or 6th or 12th day)
withdrawal period, a graduate student may withdraw from a course, either
graduate or undergraduate, without grade penalty only with the written
approval of his/her department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator
and the Dean (in that order) for such reasons as accident, severe illness,
or extreme personal disturbance. A student dropping a course under any
other circumstances will automatically receive an "F" at the end of the
semester or summer term.
Withdrawals from the University
Graduate students withdrawing from the University for any reason must
process such withdrawals in writing through the Office of the Graduate Dean.
The official withdrawal date to be recognized will be established by the Dean.
Please refer to the early pages of this catalog for detailed description
of the University's Refund Policy and related matters.
Official notification of course withdrawal will be sent by the Graduate
30— Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Dean to the students course instructor(s) and chairperson/graduate studies
coordinator.
No person shall be considered withdrawn from the University unless
the withdrawal process described herein has been employed.
Graduate Course Scheduling by
Certain Undergraduates
lUP undergraduate students with an academic grade point average of
at least 2.6 who are within 32 semester hours of graduation are permitted
after appropriate approvals, to take up to six semester hours of graduate
work whether or not they have applied for acceptance into an lUP graduate
program. Graduate hours so earned have no necessary bearing upon the
meeting of undergraduate degree requirements, and no assurance is given
or implied as to the hours' later applicability to a graduate degree should
the students be admitted to an lUP graduate program.
Time Limitations
Program credits earned at lUP or accepted by transfer are applicable
to lUP master's degrees over a period not to exceed five years from the date
of their earning unless the period is extended through student petition
approved by the program's chairperson or graduate studies coordinator and
the Graduate Dean. Doctoral candidates must complete degree requirements
no later than seven years after beginning lUP doctoral program course work
unless an extension similarly is authorized.
Graduation
Early in their final semester or summer session, students must file an
application for graduation in their College Dean's Office on a form furnished
by that office. Graduation applications must be filed by the deadlines shown
on the Graduate Calendar.
When all requirements for the degree have been completed and this
fact is attested to by the student's department, the student's College Dean,
and The Graduate School, the student's academic record will be so posted
and the degree will be awarded at the following established diploma-award
date. An official diploma is presented to the student at that time.
DOCTORAL DEGREE PROGRAMS
The Graduate School at iUP offers v/ork leading to the doctorate through
the following departments: Counselor Education, Educational Psychology.
Elementary Education. English and Psychology.
Applicants should keep in mind that the doctorate is conferred for
distinguished achievement in a particular field of scholarship and for
demonstrated ability to perform independent research in an area of that field.
No specific number of course credits entitles a student to the degree.
Those interested in any of the doctoral programs should read the
description provided by sponsoring departments later in this catalog.
Deadlines for submitting applications and supporting documents vary from
program to program, as do degree requirements. Therefore, it is important
7^76 Graduate School — 31
for students to check with the sponsoring department at the very start of
the application process.
The following doctorates are offered:
Doctor of Education in Counselor Education
Doctor of Education in Elementary Education
Doctor of Education in School Psychology
Doctor of Philosophy in English and American Literature
Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric and Linguistics
Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology
The doctoral programs in Counselor Education and School Psychology
maintain cooperative arrangements with other universities in the State
System of Higher Education iSSHE). whereby some part of the requirements
may be fulfilled at these schools. Counselor Education has a cooperative
agreement with California University of Pennsylvania and the School
Psychology program with California University of Pennsylvania. Edinboro
University of Pennsylvania, and Millersville University of Pennsylvania. For
details, check the appropriate program descriptions in this catalog and con-
sult with the sponsoring department.
Requirements for the Doctoral Degree
Students seeking a doctoral degree must satisfy the minimum Graduate
School requirements described below. Sponsoring departments may have
additional requirements: students must be equally familiar with departmen-
tal requirements since these are equally binding.
Under certain circumstances Graduate School requirements for the Doc-
toral degree may be satisfied by means of substitution. Requests for the
acceptance of substitutions should be made in the form of a petition to the
Graduate Dean, the petition first having the approval of the student's ad-
viser and department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator.
Credit requirement — A minimum of 60 graduate semester credits,
exclusive of dissertation credits, must be earned beyond the bachelor's
degree for any of the doctorates offered at lUP.
Transfer credit — Transfer credit is limited to the credit equivalent of
a recognized master's degree, except in those special cases recommended
by the student's department chairperson or graduate studies coordinator
and approved by the Graduate Dean and up to 12 graduate credits in the
use of program specific interinstitutional agreements approved by the
Graduate Dean.
Admission to Candidacy — Each student admitted to a aoctoral pro-
gram must apply for doctoral degree candidacy after completing at lUP no
less than nine nor more than 15 graduate credits beyond the master's degree.
The student must have a minimum quality point average of 3.0. The stu-
dent's minimum GPA may be set higher than the foregoing Graduate School
requirement by the programs sponsoring department, but in no case may
it be lower.
32 -Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Candidacy Examination— The candidacy examination, which may be
written, oral, or both, as determined by the program's sponsoring depart-
ment, and which may serve also as the final examination for the master's
degree if a department so prescribes, is administered by the department
in the student's field of specialization. The examination may not be taken
until the student has completed at least one year of study beyond the
bachelor's degree. Examination scores must satisfy the student's dissertation
committee.
The Dissertation Committee— The candidate's dissertation commit-
tee supervises the student's degree program from the point at which he/she
is admitted to doctoral degree candidacy through defense of the disserta-
tion. The committee approves the student's plan of study; arranges for the
candidacy examination; arranges for the comprehensive examination; and
oversees the candidate's general supervision related to research, the disser-
tation, and the general meeting of degree requirements.
The Comprehensive Examination— This examination is given, usually
upon the candidate's completion of course work, to determine the student's
stage of progress in the degree field and fields related to it, and the stu-
dent's likelihood of success in his/her research— dissertation phase. The
examination may be written, oral, or both. It is not necessarily limited to areas
in which the candidate has taken course work.
Foreign Language/Research Tool Options— Foreign Language and/or
research tool requirements for doctoral degrees vary from program to pro-
gram. In most cases, programs offer options for meeting these requirements.
Students should consult with the department sponsoring the degree for
specific information and guidance on meeting these requirements.
Research Proposal — After the candidate has passed the comprehen-
sive examination and has done extensive preliminary proposal research,
he/she must present and defend a research proposal before the disserta-
tion committee. A copy of the proposal must be placed in the hands of all
committee members at least two weeks in advance of the scheduled meeting.
The proposal must be found satisfactory by all members of the committee
before the candidate may proceed with the dissertation.

The Thesis/No Thesis Option, Master's Programs
Several lUP master's degree programs offer the graduate student a
thesis/no-thesis option.
When the no-thesis option is chosen, additional approved course work-
usually six or more credit hours — is frequently required.
The typical committee thesis arrangement (3-6 s.h.) has the student
working with a committee of four faculty members including the student's
adviser and two faculty members, one of whom may or may not be a member
of the program's department. The committee may include an off-campus
person with special expertise as part of the four if requested by the depart-
ment and approved by the Graduate Dean.

SCHOOL CERTIFICATION
Students admitted to The Graduate School who wish to work toward
certification in a specific field(s) should check the descriptions of certifica-
tion programs found in this catalog for requirements related to their pro-
gram(s) of interest. If a given certification program requires completion of
a master's degree, the master's degree procedures and regulations set forth
in this catalog apply. The Graduate School does not, however, certify
students; certification is processed by the Dean of the College of Education.
Principal Certification
lUP offers a competency-based school administrative certification pro-
gram in elementary and secondary education. Those who wish to pursue
this program must first be granted admission to the Graduate School. Before
38— Indiana University of Pennsylvania
applying, however, potential applicants should consult with the director of
the principal's certification program (Dean's Office, College of Education,
Stouffer Hall).
Graduate Study Beyond the Master's Degree
it is not unusual to find graduate students enrolling in more courses
than they need to meet the requirements of a master's degree. Such action
can be beneficial beyond the personal satisfactions which accrue, because
the added studies may be well received by employers whether in business,
government, or the school system in such matters as certification. However,
students should understand that most graduate schools have residency re-
quirements at the doctoral as well as master's level and frequently will ac-
cept no more than 30 graduate semester hours earned elsewhere as
applicable to a doctorate.
Degree Eligibility of lUP Teaching Staff
Members of the teaching faculty at lUP with the rank of Assistant Pro-
fessor or above (or equivalent), may not receive a graduate degree from
this institution. This rule applies also to any faculty members employed at
lUP full-time at the Instructor rank unless such an individual is already an
approved candidate for a degree in the Graduate School of lUP at the time
he/she is given full-time employment as an Instructor. Faculty members may,
however, register for work in The Graduate School and apply the credit
toward graduate degrees to be conferred by other institutions.

MASTER OF ARTS IN ART THERAPY
The Master of Arts degree in Art Therapy is designed to fulfill the
minimum graduate requirements for an art therapist. Following the guidelines
of the American Art Therapy Association, the master's degree in Art Therapy
at lUP is designed to provide the theoretical and practical art therapy skills
which are applied in clinical, education or rehabilitative settings. The pro-
gram is an interdisciplinary one of art, art therapy, psychology and related
areas. A practicum of 600 hours under the supervision of an art therapist
in an applicable setting is required.
in addition to meeting the requirements for admission to the Graduate
School, an interview with a portfolio of the candidate's art work will be re-
50— Indiana University of Pennsylvania
quired and an evaluation of the candidate's interests in therapeutic work
will follow. It is suggested that graduate students in art therapy have a
background in human, normal, and abnormal psychology and have
background suitable to professional work in the field. Upon the director's
advisement students may be required to take additional undergraduate
course work if they are found to lack proficiency in art or the social sciences.
Graduate credit is not given for undergraduate courses which may be
required.

two to three working days per week are required. The same number of hours
may be provided by concentrating summer work in a shortened period or
by evening work over a more extended period. The 600 hours will be spent
under qualified supervision in agencies which may be in a locality of the
student's choice and/or desired area of interest.
The Art Therapy Director assists the student in securing the site and
makes scheduled visitations to evaluate the student's progress, modality
of treatment and daily supervision, as well as to observe the student func-
tioning as an Art Therapist. Uppermost in such visitations is the quality and

BUSINESS
The College of Business offers three separate graduate programs: The
Master of Business Administration (MBA), the Master of Education in
Business (M.Ed.), and the Master of Science in Business (M.S.).
MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA)
The Master of Business Administration program is intended to serve
the needs of both junior and senior level business and industrial executives
seeking additional knowledge and skills to do a more efficient job of prob-
lem solving and managerial decision making. Also, the program serves the
needs of students seeking advanced training in business management prior
to entry into a business career. The program is offered on a part-time or
full-time basis.
Core I of the program consists of 10 undergraduate prerequisite courses
(31 s.h.) that provide a foundation in the basic concepts and techniques used
in today's business world.
Core II consists of ten graduate level courses or thirty semester hours.
Of these, seven courses are required in the functional and applied areas
of business. The remaining courses are electives which may be concen-
trated in one functional area, such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing,
Management Information Systems or Management, by those students
wishing to develop an academic specialty within the broader field of business
administration, or the electives may be taken from any combination of those
areas or, with permission, from other related areas outside the College of
Business by those students wishing a Business degree covering a broader
range.
Normally the student with an undergraduate degree in Business Ad-
ministration would either go directly to the Core II subjects or would have
a minimal number of Core I or prerequisite subjects remaining.
However, a student with no undergraduate background in Business Ad-
ministration would need to take most or all of the prerequisite classes.
Therefore, for the student with no Business Administration background, com-
pleting both Core I and Core II will normally require two years of full-time
study to achieve the MBA degree. For the student with a recent bachelor's
degree in Business Administration, the requirements for the MBA can nor-
mally be completed in one year of full-time study.
Students who did not have all the Core I courses as undergraduates
may take these courses at lUP or, with prior permission, at other accredited
institutions. In some instances, course credit may be earned by examina-
tion for some prerequisite courses. In some cases, credit may be given for
other parallel educational experiences. For example, there are certain cor-
porate training programs in computer languages that might be accepted in
lieu of the introductory undergraduate computer course. Please contact the
Director of Graduate Studies in Business for information concerning the
prerequisite courses.
Students seeking enrollment in the MBA program or M.S. in Business
program must take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
before being admitted to the program. Information about the GMAT can be
obtained from the Educational Testing Services, Princeton, NJ 08540 or from
the lUP Academic Services and Testing Center (Telephone 412-357-3050).

MASTER OF EDUCATION IN BUSINESS (M.Ed.)
The Master of Education in Business degree is designed to permit
business teachers to broaden their understanding of business, to study
current teaching procedures, and to update their knowledge in the new
technologies used in business.
Business Education teachers with appropriate prerequisites can earn,
at the graduate level, certification in accounting, data processing, marketing,
and distributive education while pursuing the Master of Education degree
program.
Distributive Education teachers seeking to broaden their background
In marketing, merchandising, and management may emphasize these areas
in the Master of Education degree program.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BUSINESS (M.S.)
The Master of Science in Business degree is designed primarily for
business people, industrial, personnel and government employees who are
interested in furthering their academic careers through study in Business
60— Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Administration. The program is designed to allow these people to specialize
in an area of Business Administration and to take more courses in their
chosen specialty than would be allowed In the MBA program. In the MS in
Business program, such students may elect to take four courses of their
graduate work in the area of their chosen specialization.
In order to familiarize the student with the full range of business ac-
tivities, the student is required to take a series of undergraduate prerequisite
courses identical to the "Core I" requirements or undergraduate prerequisite
courses that are required by the MBA program. If the student did not have
these courses as an undergraduate, they will be taken at lUP, or, with prior
permission, they may be taken at some other accredited institutions. In some
instances, course credit may be given by examination for these prerequisite
courses. Please contact the Director of Graduate Studies in Business for
information concerning the prerequisite courses.
The prospective MS in Business student will submit a written statement
explaining their career goals and the area of specialization or functional field

CHEMISTRY
The Chemistry Department offers three different degree programs on
the master's level: the Master of Education, Master of Science, and the Mas-
ter of Arts degrees in chemistry.
The Master of Education program is designed for the secondary school
teacher, affording the teacher the opportunity to gain more knowledge of
chemistry and keep abreast of a rapidly changing field. The major empha-
sis is on subject matter. The student may enroll on either a full- or part-time
basis.
The Master of Science degree is for the chemist who intends to pursue
further graduate work leading to a PhD or who intends to work as a profes-
sional chemist and desires to become more competent in chemistry. This
degree is research oriented and successful completion of an experimental
thesis is required. Also two consecutive semesters of residency are required.
The Master of Arts degree is designed to meet the needs of the chem-
ist who is currently a full-time employee of the chemical or academic insti-
tution and who wishes strengthening in those areas relevant to the
professional position. The emphasis here is on course work.
Four core courses, one in each of the areas of inorganic, organic, ana-
lytical, and physical chemistry, are required in the MS and MA programs.*
Beyond this point the programs separate with the MS and MA student taking
more specialized work in chemistry along with an experimental research
70— Indiana University of Pennsylvania
problem. The MEd candidate will take broadening courses which increase
the effectiveness of a teacher. The MA candidate will take more specialized
work in chemistry and will be encouraged to take courses outside the
sciences if they are relevant to the particular area of employement.
General Admissions Requirements— Students should have completed
one year each of general chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemis-
try, physical chemistry,* * general physics, and calculus. Students wishing
to specialize in biochemistry should also have had an undergraduate course
in biochemistry. Students deficient in the above areas of study may also
be admitted provided these deficiencies are made up concurrently with the
student's graduate studies.
The general requirements for admission to candidacy for a master's de-
gree are discussed on page of the bulletin.
*An exception to this is afforded the student wishing to specialize in
biochemistry.
* *Only one semester of physical chemistry is required for education majors.
MASTER OF ARTS JN CHEMISTRY
I. Industrial/Teaching Experience: Before the degree of MA in chemistry
can be granted the applicant must have had three years of full-time em-
ployment in an approved area of chemistry. Only those years of employ-
ment acquired after obtaining the bachelor's degree may be counted.
This experience meets the University residency requirements.

Certification as an Instructional Media Specialist
The specialist certificate in Instructional Media may be awarded to stu-
dents who hold at least a Pennsylvania Level 1 or equivalent certificate valid
for elementary or secondary education and who complete 24 semester hours
of graduate work in the curriculum of Communications Media and related
subjects. With the approval of an advisor, each student will select a balance
of courses from the three concentration Blocks described earlier; however,
CM 503, 615, 630, and 660 must be included in the courses selected. Ap-
plication for the certificate is made through the Communications Media
Department to the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction.
By careful structuring of their program, it is possible for students to ob-
tain both the MEd degree and the Instructional Media Specialist Certifica-
tion concurrently. Usually this will require slightly more than the 30 semester
hours of minimum credits required for the MEd but students often find it
to their advantage to fulfill the requirements for both programs.
Students not in the educational profession (i.e.. Business or Industry)
and who otherwise meet the admission requirements of the Graduate School
may pursue the program for Instructional Media Specialist and upon com-
pletion of the requirements may be granted a special Certificate of Profi-
ciency in Instructional Media by the University.
Graduate School admission does not automatically ensure acceptance
into the certificate program. Successful applicants will present evidence of
(1) the intellectual ability to do acceptable graduate work; (2) satisfactory
scores on the GRE; and (3) the requisite personal qualifications of charac-
ter, health, and professional background. The departmental graduate faculty
will make the necessary determinations.

Graduate Studies will consult with him or her about the scheduling of courses.
The student should apply for the candidacy before 12 credits have been
earned.
The writing of a thesis is optional for both the MA and MEd degree.
The English department values writing and research; however, a candidate's
decision concerning the thesis should be made on the basis of his/her pur-
poses in obtaining the degree and the extent to which training in research
will enhance both professional and personal goals. Under special circum-
stances and upon request from The Graduate School, a thesis may be writ-
ten for additional credit after the student has already completed the master's
degree without a thesis.
MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH
The MA degree either with or without a thesis requires a minimum of
30 s.h. beyond the bachelor's degree. The candidate who chooses not to
write a thesis will take all 30 s.h. in course work. Depending upon the nature
of the thesis, the candidate who chooses to do research will take either three
or six s.h. of the minimum 30 as thesis and the remainder in course work.
Required of all MA candidates are (1) EN 674 and (2) proficiency in a
single language in addition to English. The language requirement may be
satisfied by acceptable undergraduate credit of 12 hours, by examination
through the Foreign Languages Department at lUP, or by the Graduate
School Foreign Language Test through the Educational Testing Service,
Princeton.
The MA candidate may apply a maximum of six s.h. in a related field
(e.g. history, philosophy, psychology) toward satisfying total course require-
ments. All hours remaining from the minimum 30 hours requirement will be
satisfied by courses listed in the catalog EN 529 through EN 699.
MASTER OF EDUCATION IN ENGLISH
The candidate for the MEd has the same thesis option as the candidate
for the MA. The MEd candidate must satisfy the following requirements: (1 ) A
Pennsylvania Teacher's Certificate in English or its equivalent from another
state (2) Three s.h. in Humanistic Studies: any course from FE 611, 612,
613, 514 (3) Three s.h. in Behavioral Studies: EP 604, EP 573. EP 576,
EP 578, EP 580, CE 629, CE 639, or EX 631 (4) Three hours in Research:
GR 614 (5) Six hours Specialization Core: EN 603 and EN 693; and (6) Three
hours in bibliographical methods: EN 674.
106— Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Depending upon choice of thesis options, the candidate will complete
the 30 hour minimum requirement by taking from six to 12 hours of elec-
tives, chosen from courses EN 529 through EN 699.
There is no foreign language requirement for the MEd.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY PROGRAMS
There are two distinct doctoral programs in English, one in English and
American literature, and the other in Rhetoric/Linguistics. Both programs
lead to a Doctor of Philosophy in English.
I. Doctor of Philosophy in English and American Literature
The program leading to the Doctor of Philosophy in English and
American literature is designed for those who wish to teach at the college
or university level. As such, this plan of study places strong emphasis upon
the humanistic tradition in literature, for the values expressed therein are
felt to be the essential concern of a liberal arts education. A candidate for
this degree is expected to acquire a broad knowledge in limited areas of
study and to show through the completion of an acceptable dissertation the
ability to conduct an independent investigation of a topic approved by the
department. To become a candidate the applicant must meet all The
Graduate School requirements for candidacy, as well as the special re-
quirements of the English department. Admission to course work beyond
the master's degree does not constitute admission to candidacy for the PhD
program. No specific number of course credits entitles a student to the
degree, but a minimum of 60 semester hours of credit, exclusive of research
credits, must be earned beyond the bachelor's degree. Applications for can-
didacy will be reviewed by a departmental committee after nine hours of
graduate credit have been earned beyond the master's degree and before
15 hours have been completed. In determining whether or not an applicant
should be accepted as a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy,
an Advisory Committee will consider the applicant's scores on the Graduate
Record Examination, performance in course work, and whenever applicable,
performance as a teaching-intern.
On application for candidacy, the candidate will be assigned to an Ad-
visory Committee who will help the candidate prepare a plan of study for
a comprehensive examination, both written and oral, which will be taken
on the recommendation of the Advisory Committee near the end of course
requirements and before registering for EN 950 dissertation credits.
The linguistic requirement for PhD candidates, which must be completed
before the comprehensive examinations, may be satisfied by one of the
following comparative study options: (1) six graduate credits in theoretical
or applied linguistics; (2) six graduate credits in computer languages; (3)
foreign language proficiency as measured either by ETA or Foreign
Language Department examinations. The Student's Advisory Committee will
attempt to suit the language study to the student's needs as a teacher and
Programs and Courses - 107
English
researcher. Sole authority in determining foreign language proficiency rests
with the Advisory Committee.
On approval of the Advisory Committee, a candidate may take as many
as nine graduate hours of course work in a minor field in support of major
research interest.
Although there are specific requirements for the degree, the professional
and educational background of a number of students will make it necessary
to waive certain requirements to avoid needless duplication. Decisions to
waive requirements will be made by the student's Advisory Committee.
Candidates must demonstrate the capacity to teach effectively, either
in the departmental teaching-internship program, or through other acceptable
teaching experience. English is required of all candidates.
As this catalog is being prepared, the PhD program in English and
American literature is undergoing revisions. Both requirements and course
offerings can be expected to change. A complete description can be ob-
tained from the English Department or from the Graduate School.
II. Doctor of Philosophy in Rhetoric and Linguistics
The program which leads to the Doctor of Philosophy in English is
designed for teaching English in the community college or the four-year col-
lege. The pre-service candidate for this degree is expected to acquire a
thorough understanding of the community college as an institution and to
demonstrate, largely through a semester's internship at a community col-
lege, the ability to teach effectively.
The in-service candidate for this degree may have the internship waived
after a description and evaluation of his/her teaching experiences have been
accepted.
Upon admission to the program, the candidate will be assigned to a
Program/Evaluation Committee which will, in consultation with the candidate,
work out a program of study. The Program/Evaluation Committee will review
also the candidate's application for candidacy, which must be submitted after
nine hours of graduate credit have been earned and before 15 hours have
been completed. Another function of the Program/Evaluation Committee will
be to prepare a comprehensive examination, written and oral, for each
candidate.
Although there are some general course and research requirements
for this degree, they may be waived by the student's Program/Evaluation
Committee if they believe the student has already acquired the information
or specific competencies which these courses are designed to communicate
or develop. These general course requirements are as follows: EN 689,
EN 692, EN 631 , EN 603, a course in the teaching of literature, nine hours
of elective credits in psychology, sociology, communications media, etc.;
a dissertation related to Rhetoric and Linguistics; a semester's internship
at a community college.
As this catalog is being prepared, the program is undergoing revision
of requirements and of course offerings. Notable is the ESL component of
this program which is fully in place and currently offered on a regular basis.
A complete description of all revisions can be obtained from the English
Department or from the Graduate School.

FOUNDATIONS OF EDUCATION
The Foundations of Education Department seeks to expose its students
to a systematic inquiry into educational theories and practices through a
philosophical, sociological, historical, and comparative analysis. Founda-
tions study generates criteria for judgment and helps to formulate a Gestalt
of various subjects. It also helps to develop an integral cross sectional view
of education, while augmenting the construction, clarification, and evalua-
tion of educational goals necessary for development of effective methods
of instruction. Furthermore, it broadens perspectives and deepens analysis
of policies and programs which help educational personnel find meaning
and value in all educational activities.

GEOGRAPHY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
lUP's Department of Geography and Regional Planning offers graduate
programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Science, and
Master of Education. The programs are designed to prepare students for
a variety of careers as geographers in business, government, research and
planning organizations, and teaching; or for entry to a doctoral program at
another university. Emphasis is placed upon developing professional com-
petence in the tools, substance, methodology, and theory of geography.
Graduates of the program are employed by the state and federal govern-
ment, city, county and regional planning commissions, private consultant
firms, business and industry, and secondary schools, colleges and univer-
sities. Knowledge of spatial location patterns and processes and environmen-
tal concerns; the planning field, its organization, and operation; and geo-
graphic and cartographic skills, including computer application is of value
to the graduate in the job search.
Students usually hold a bachelor's degree in geography or one of the
social sciences. Persons with degrees in education, science or business
find a degree in geography of value.
Geography graduate students at lUP may pursue traditional geographic
themes of study or research such as economic-urban and cultural-historical
geography. The Department also offers faculty strength in regional develop-
ment and planning, and in cartography/remote sensing/geographic infor-
mation systems. Thus, the student may choose between two plans. The MA
student may design his or her own program in consultation with a faculty
advisor. The MS program requires that the student complete a twelve-credit
concentration in regional development, planning, and cartography. In either
program selected courses in related fields may be applied toward a degree.
All graduate degree programs require a minimum of 30 semester hours of
credit for the thesis option, or at least 36 hours for the non-thesis option.
These include three core courses: GE 511 , GE 610 and GE 612. Graduate
students have the option to incorporate an internship as a part of either the
MA or the MS program.

ment and Nutrition background will not be qualified to teach in the public
schools nor will this degree help them to meet state certification require-
ments for teaching Home Economics. However, students can become better
qualified for leadership positions in their area of specialization.
Upon admission, students will be assigned an adviser. The student and
adviser will outline a tentative program of studies. Any deviation from degree
requirements shall have the written approval of the adviser and coordinator
of the program.
Prior to the time the student Is admitted to degree candidacy, he/she
must, in consultation with his/her adviser and coordinator, select the thesis
or no-thesis option.

PHYSICS
The graduate program in physics offers a choice of three degrees: a
Master of Education, a Master of Arts, and a Master of Science. The stu-
dent obtaining a nnaster's degree for fulfillment of certification requirements
usually selects either the Master of Education Degree or the Master of Arts
Degree. The student obtaining a master's degree for additional preparation
for research, an industrial position, or further graduate work will usually se-
lect the Master of Science Degree.
Because of a wide range of possible courses and research areas avail-
able, the student is required to have the consent of his/her department ad-
viser before selecting a course or initiating a research project. Adviser
assignments are made as soon as the acceptance of a graduate student
reaches the physics department. The graduate student should arrange
appointments with his/her adviser. The flexibility of the program allows the
student to satisfy almost any combination of educational goals.
MASTER OF EDUCATION IN PHYSICS
I. Professional Development Area — nine s.h.
A. Humanistic Studies (three s.h.) — One course must be selected from
FE 514, 611, 612, 613.

MASTER OF ARTS IN PHYSICS
This program is the most flexible of the three graduate degree programs
offered by the Physics Department. Each student's program is designed to
meet his or her individual needs by the student and adviser working together.
The educational goals of students in many categories can be met while
the student is working to attain his/her degree. Several examples of the cat-
egory of student who may select this degree program are:
1. The student whose undergraduate training is in Physics Education,
Physical Science Education, or Science Education with a strong
professional education component. This student may need more con-
tent than professional education. In this program the student may,
with the concurrence of his/her adviser, enroll in exactly that ratio
of content courses to professional education courses which are neces-
sary to attain his/her goals.
2. The student who holds a teaching certificate in a field other than phys-
ics but is a secondary school physics teacher. These students often
require formal coursework in a number of areas of physics in order
to have physics added to their certificate. This is normally a require-
ment of their school district and/or the Commonwealth. This program
allows them to meet this requirement while working toward a degree.
3. The student who wishes to enroll in a cooperative program includ-
ing those programs with internship components. Students may earn
8-15 s.h. during a semester while interning under one of the special
programs instituted by the University.
SUBJECT MATTER - 15 s.h. minimum.
Required coursework in Physics is to be selected from the Graduate
Physics courses whose course number is 510 or greater. This selection must
have the prior approval of the student's academic adviser and a notation
of such approval is to appear in the student's folder.
ELECTIVES - 11 to 18 s.h.
The student may complete the requirements for an MA by selecting,
with the approval of his/her adviser, from among the offerings of The Gradu-
ate School. The number of credits selected for electives depends upon the
option exercised under Research and Thesis.
RESEARCH AND THESIS OPTION
Each Master of Arts student must complete degree requirements in one
of the following two ways:
A. Undertake an individual research problem and complete an accept-
Programs and Courses — 155
Physics
able thesis. For this option the student must schedule PY 600 for
two s.h. and PY 850 for at least two s.h. If he/she selects this option
he/she will have completed a minimum of 30 s.h. including these
two courses for the degree.
B. Decide, with the approval of his/her academic adviser, that he/she
does not wish to undertake such a research problem. If this option
is exercised, the student will not do a thesis but must complete a
minimum of 33 s.h. of coursework.
For description of PY 850, see page 00.
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN PHYSICS
I. Admission Requirements. Any student meeting the requirements of The
Graduate School and having either a BA or BS with the major in physics

PSYCHOLOGY
The Psychology Department offers a Doctor of Psychology degree in
Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) and Master of Arts degrees in Community
Psychology and Experimental Psychology. The Psy.D. includes specializa-
tions in such areas as Behavioral Medicine, Child, Assessment, Psycho-
therapy, and Community Systems. The program is designed to meet the
academic requirements of licensure and provide the background to im-
mediately assume responsibilities in appropriate professional settings. The
M.A. program in Community Psychology specializes in evaluation research
and organizational psychology and prepares students for a wide range of
positions in human services, government, and industry. The Master of Arts
in Experimental Psychology is offered only on an occasional basis when
a student's research interests closely match those of a faculty member.
The department also offers courses open to students in other graduate
programs in the Graduate School.
MASTER OF ARTS IN COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY

The deadline for receipt of all application materials is March 15. Late
applications will be considered if space permits.
Philosophy
The M.A. program provides training in the planning and development
of human service programs, program evaluation, and the implementation
of human service innovations. The skills obtained are applicable to a vari-
ety of local human service, government, and private industry settings. The
program is not a clinical/community program, and it does not provide direct
clinical "client contact" experience.
Curriculum
The M.A. Program in Community Psychology requires the completion
of 45 credits and takes approximately two years of full-time study to com-
plete. The minimum required courses are: PC 601 , PC 602, PC 603, PC 650,
PC 569 or PC 654, and Advanced Psychology Practicum (PC 675) for 9 to
12 credits. The remaining credits are taken as electives either in the Psy-
chology Department or in other departments in the University. Students are
expected to develop a content area specialty based on their electives and
practicum. In addition to coursework, students must complete a 6-credit
thesis.
Candidacy

time student must prepare, in consultation with an advisory committee, a
program of study that will result in completion of degree requirements with-
in three years. With permission of the Community Program Committee, a
portion of the practicum requirement may be waived. In some circumstances
it may be possible for a student to receive practicum credit for his/her su-
pervised work while a student in the program.
DOCTORATE IN CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY

Breadth of undergraduate training is preferable to narrow specializa-
tion. Weaknesses in one area may be offset by strengths in another area,
although the Admissions Committee gives preference to applicants with some
demonstrated strengths in all areas. Students may be required to make up
deficiencies.
The deadline for receipt of all application materials is January 25. The
Admission Committee will then select a pool of qualified applicants who will
be invited to the campus for personal interviews. Announcements of final
admission decisions will be made around April 1.
Philosophy

of clinical psychologists. Emphasis is placed on professional applications
of psychology to a wide variety of human problems. Students receive ex-
tensive supervision in the development of skills in interpersonal relations,
psychological assessment, psychotherapy, community outreach and pro-
gram evaluation, and a solid grounding in the scientific knowledge base of
psychology.
Curriculum
The Psy.D. program is designed to be completed in three calendar years
of full-time study plus an additional year of full-time internship. The curricu-
lum requires a minimum of 93 semester hours of acceptable graduate credit.
Each student must complete requirements for: (a) core coursework; (b) spe-
cialty requirements; (c) Practicum, Internship and Professional Issues; (d)
Doctoral Project; (e) Comprehensive Academic and Professional Exam-
ination; and, (f) master's and doctoral candidacy. In addition, a course in

petence will be made. This evaluation data will be shared with the student
as feedback, and a joint effort will be made to remediate any deficiencies.
Students must also pass a comprehensive examination over basic
knowledge appropriate for a professional psychologist. This examination will
cover material related to any of the core coursework areas. Students will
have options of questions within the content areas.
Satisfactory performance on both the comprehensive examination and
the professional evaluations must be achieved before candidacy for the doc-
torate will be recommended. Serious deficiencies may result in recommen-
dations for remedial work, re-examination, delay of candidacy, or termination
from the program.

based on satisfactory academic and professional evaluations. The MA in
clinical psychology will be awarded after the successful completion of 54
semester hours and satisfactory annual academic and professional evalua-
tions. The 54 credits must include 9 hours of practicum and the core course-
work of the Psy.D. degree.
The candidacy for the Psy.D. will be awarded following the completion
of all MA requirements plus a minimum of an additional 9-15 credits, suc-
cessful performance on the comprehensive examination, and satisfactory
annual academic and professional evaluations. An average GPA of 3.00 is

SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is the study of society and human social relationships. Ad-
vanced training in sociology should enable the student to think critically and
reflectively about the social world and to be able to use the knowledge ac-
quired in a variety of ways: Sociology is relevant to a number of careers.
Many students plan to affiliate themselves with professional social service,
governmental, or research organizations, while other students pursue aca-
demic sociological careers. The MA program in Sociology is designed to
serve these various needs and interests of students.
MASTER OF ARTS IN SOCIOLOGY
In addition to graduate school admission requirements, the student
should have completed at least 12 hours of undergraduate sociology courses
with an average grade of B or better. In individual cases the department
may allow a promising student to enter the program with deficiencies. Such
deficiencies must be made up by taking specific courses at the discretion
of the department in addition to the required total number of course hours.
All MA students are required to complete the two basic core require-
ments: SO 664 Research Seminar in Sociology, and SO 667 Contemporary
Sociological Theory. Beyond the completion of these two courses, the MA
in Sociology allows the student two options:
Thesis Option: In addition to the two core courses, students will com-
plete an additional 1 8 s.h. of coursework (1 2 s.h. of which must be in sociol-
ogy) and a six s.h. thesis (SO 850).
Non-Thesis Option: In addition to the two core courses, students will
complete an additional 30 s.h. of coursework (21 s.h. of which must be in
sociology).
Students planning further academic work in sociology may find the thesis
option most helpful, while those going on to community-related work might
find the non-thesis option most beneficial. Specific programs of study are
planned by student and assigned faculty adviser when the student enters
the program. Students may later alter their program of studies in consulta-
tion with their advisers. Such flexibility in structuring the curriculum, we be-
lieve, will best serve students.
No more than one-third of a student's work toward the MA may be in
dual-level (500) courses. Therefore, those selecting the thesis option are
limited to nine s.h. of dual-level coursework, while those selecting the non-
thesis option will be permitted no more than 12 s.h. of dual-level course-
work. Furthermore, students who enrolled for dual-level courses while under-
graduates at lUP may not repeat the same courses for credit as graduate
students.
